Yeah it is a new colour John. It is called Toxic. Its basically the same as Citric Acid but a bit more greener if that makes sense!
There's also a new blue coming out later this year, same as the new Munro blue.

But Ford does blue so well!!!

The new Monaro blue, is that almost like a Turquoise?? Is that the colour the new Ford blue will be? I like the sound of it. Also like the sound of Toxic as well. Always thought Citric Acid needed more green in it.

Should be interesting!!

The greens that have been on the BA so far are;

Citric Acid (2003-04) - Flat Yellow-green
Zest (2004-) - Light yellowish-goldy-green
Envi (2004-) - Lime green
Congo Green (2002-03) - Forest green
Harvest Green (2003-04) - Forest green with a little gold (replaced Congo Green).

Can't wait to see these new colours though. I know that Ford has only just released a colour called "Icon" which I think is like the Delft Blue of the VX II-VY I Commodore...

Harvest Green was pure class. Oh for a GT in that colour - fantastic.

Holden's Delft Blue is a really nice colour too - i have had my Jazz Bass resprayed in that colour, and i love it.

I've seen 2 XR6T's in Congo Green this week, but I'm not sure I like it on the XRs.
On a Fairmont/Ghia/Fairlane, yes, but I think the Performance models should get brighter colours.

Harvest Green GT with no spoiler and quad tips - major drool factor. Sheer class.

Anyway it's great to see all these new Hero colors coming out and brighten up the place,i really think that Ford have overtaken Holden with their color range.The Ford cars certainly have some presence on the road now.

so when will it be released?

when i took the photos, i remember thinking it was velocity or shockwave, as i hadn't seen either of those colors on the street, so wasnt sure....then i was speaking to brad, and we both thought it was a custom aftermarket color....
